[Verse 1]
One step ahead of you
Stay in motion, keep an open mind
Love is a race won by two
Your emotion, my solitude

[Chorus 1]
If I stop, I could lose my head
But I'm losing you instead
Either way, I'm confused
You slow me down, what can I do?
There's one particular way I have to choose, oh

[Verse 2]
One step ahead of you
Always someone makes it hard to move
She said, "boy, I want you to stay"
So I save it all for another day

[Chorus 2]
If I stop, I could lose my head
But I'm ready for romance
Either way, I'm confused
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I can only stay one step ahead of you
[Post-Chorus]
Ba ba-da da-da, ba-da da-da
Ba-da da-da, ba-da da-da
Ba ba-da da-da, ba-da da-da
Ba-da da-da, ba-da da-da

[Chorus 3]
Stop, I confess sometimes
I don't know where I'm goin'
Part of me stays with you
I'm slowing down, what can I do?
It's hard to stay one step ahead of you, oh oh

[Bridge]
One step ahead of you
Time is running out, catchin' up with you
One step ahead of you
When I hold you close, can I really lose?
She said, "one step ahead"
She's just one step ahead
She's just one step ahead of you
